So I was just wondering: how long does it take you guys to write a review on average? I know it takes upwards of three hours for me, with a limit of five - editing and refining included. How long do YOU need? And let's take this a bit further too - how OFTEN do you review an album? I personally manage one a week, and am curious to see how my fellow Sputnik denizens fare. And because I have to list something, here are the albums that I've worked on so far:

already talked about this in the mae thread, but for me i used to write 1 review per week, now i write 2-3 per week because im out of school and dont have a job yet...they typically take me an hour or an hour and a half, or if i work particularly hard on it 2-3 hours.

I only write for sputnik when I'm inspired to. Reviews can take about 25 mins. (my Yukon Blonde review for example, was the easiest thing for me to write ever), or it can take about 2 1/2 hours (my Bionic review).

The actual writing doesn't take too long, but I usually have reviews planned for a while before I actually get around to starting them. If I'm inspired I can write one in a couple hours but usually it takes longer cause I'm a perfectionist when it comes to these reviews.

Let me know if you need any help k fr33convict? I have experience with struggling with reviews myself - this piece on The Beatles' Please Please Me is really kicking my ass right now...and I got a leaked copy too.

I can usually write a review within an hour, maybe two. Then I spend maybe ten minutes editing. And I'm not that regular with my writing. I'll do three in a week then not bother for a month. But I try to stagger my postings a little. Just a little.
